 portal bright Ever glanced upon being, king or courier, serf or knight Priest or citizen of the genus, or the species brute called man, And who read and scanned you through and through, as only God can scan, That would not say how outward young, and yet so inward old, Marveling at the history that the double vis- ion told; Oh, fearful lest thy fate should bring thy life to an early close, You have sucked with greedy gluttony all the sweetness from it's rose. You have chased with sensual madness every round of worldly plea +ure Till desire has grown aweary of the music and the measure, And now when at the glorious age when man. hood is at prime, When the spirit and the flesh should meet in bold and happy rhyme, You stand in manly beauty, full of strength, and yet the spring Sees thy soul sit on the harp strings of thy heart with broken wing, While in it's secret chambers, where some great love should be guest, Lie hundred faded passions like dead violets at rest And in the palace of thy mind where hope should shed her light On the proud thoughts bravely marshaled in
 some high ambitions fight; We mark the shadowy phantoms of wild dreams all glad and fair Sitting silent, solemn mourners at the grave with dead Despair. For Lorenza De La Ora in thy few and faded You have outlived Love and Hope and out lived pleasure, pain and tears, Outlved all mans perfect passions, outlived
 all that gives life spendor, Filled thy heart with cynic testers, and
 crushed all that's true and tender. Thou vert better dead; mo- never-you are fitted for the lying Ways and dark deceptons of this world
 where souls are ever dying, Meath the gleam of mime virtues, which but Iatten shame ana lust, With thousand perfect lilies of Gods sweet ness crushed to dust. Go you out upon the highways, sound your
 trumpet, flash your steel, You whose heart Is like a graveyard, cannot
 scois mockeries feel. Lo! you can pose as saint or villain, IS it suits purpose bold, In the crowd that sell their feelings, balm
 their wounded hearts with gold.  Go-thy strong arm it must triumph with thy
 soul shrewd to apply, For the world is ready and eager ever to
 crown a glitterng lie.

BY LUCY II. HOOPER.

It is not at all necessary to the de- velopment of the story 1 am about to tell that should state how it hap pened that found myself one day penniless in Paris. Perhaps I had come abroad to study painting and had failed. Perhaps I had come to Paris to study singing and had lost my voice. Perhaps had simply vis- ited Europe on frolic, had squan- dered my money foolishly and was ashamed to go home.
 At all events, l woke up one fine morning in the French capital with with just about enough money in my pocket to suffice for my board and lodging for three days longer.
 "So," I said to myself, "Stebhen Morris, my friend, something must be done."
 Something-but what? At last, re- alizing the fact that my best stock in trade consisted of pair of broad shoulders, strong arms and sturdy legs, determined to become the pub lie messenger or errand-runncr of the American colony. 1 was ashamed to beg and was not afraid to work.
 l myself cannot understand how it was that did so we'll in so short a space of time. 1 soon had as much to do as could manage in the course of day. What with taking parcels back to the Bon Marche and seeing after the arrivals of timid widows and unprotected old maids and escort ing the same afterwards to the rail- way stations, and experimenting the sending off of parcels and trunks by express, had quite busy time of it.
 speedily got to be quite popular, especially with the unprotected eld- erly females in Paris, and often acted as an impromptu courier or va1et de place when my services were so re- quired. Very often some lone, lorn lady would engage me by the day to act as her escort to Versailles or St. Germain or Fontainbleau, for it was easy for anybody to discern that I was above my occupation and that I had been bred and educated in sta tion of life far superior to that of an ordinary runner of errands. Before long l had quite regular line of en- ployment., and came to be trusted and amply paid accordingly.
 There was one lady who required my services unusually often, and whom l soon got to know very we'll. She was from one of the eastern states of the Union, and was about fifty years of age, or perhaps little more. Her name was Millicent Rayner-Miss Rayner-an old maid predestined, it would seem, to single blessedness from her cradle, if one might judge by her dry and angular physique. She was small and spare, with plain face, whose only attractive feature was a pair of bright eyes. She looked intel hgent, and there was g world of deter imitation about her thin, firmly closed lips. She was devoted to intellectual pursuits, and spent most of her time in reading in the National library, or

kline, and if so to what extent, etc., to hand. In reply will say that my health has not been as good in twenty years as now. I suffered with chills from malarlal poison contracted while serving in the Confederate army on the Peninsular Campaigns in Vir- ginia. Did not miss having chill at least once in twenty-one days, and more frequently once in seven days, for more than fifteen years.
 In this condition I visited New York in November, 1885, on business. While there l stopped with Mir. E. D. Barker, of the University Publish ing Company. I told Mir. Barker of my condition. He called my atten- tion to your Kaskine and procured for me bottle. After my return home l took the pellets as directed and found much relief afforded thereoy. Of this change I wrote MT. Barker. who sent two or three bottles during the past year. My health greatly i'm proved. I increased in weight from 165 pounds to 200 pounds, my pres ent weight. I believe the Kaskine did it. Quinine had failed, as had other remedies usually administered in such cases.
 Now, unless ill case of exposure to extra bad weather, do not have chills, and my general health is quite good. 1 turned over half bottle to young lady friend a few weeks since. I learn from her mother that she was much benefited by it while it lasted.
 l trust you may be able to intro- duce Kaskine generally in this coun- try, ill which many suffer from dis eases consequent upon malarial poison in the system. From my own expe- rience l can emphasize it's excellence for such diseases. If can serve YOU. call on me. am, very truly yours,
 JOHN c. SCARBOROUGH.
 Seven years ago I had an attack of bilious remlttent fever, which ran into intermittent malarial. tried all the known remedies, such as arsenic. mercury and quinine. The latter was administered to me in heavy and con- tinued doses. Malaria brought on nervous prostration and dyspepsia. from which I suffered everything. Last winter I heard of Kaskine and began using it. A few bottles of the wonderful drug cured me. Malaria and dyspepsia disappeared, and as you have seen June day brighter for the summer storm that had passed across the sky, so the cloud left my life and my health became steady and strong.

 MT. Gideon Thompson, the oldest and one of the most respected citizens of Bridgeport, Conn, says: q am ninety years of age, and for the last three years have suffered from malaria and the effects of quinine poisoning. I recently began with Kaskine, which broke up the malaria and increased my weight twenty-two pounds"
 Other letters of similar character from prominent individuals, which stsmp Kaskine as a remedy of un- doubted merit, will be sent on appli- cation. Price S1.O0, or six bottles. $500. Sold by Druggists, or sent by mail on receipt of price.

AbOIishIng Railway "Deadhead-
ing"


That clause OF the interstate
railroad law which is construed in.
TO iorbiddiug The granting Of free
passes to any classes Of persons,
appears to have been interpreted
variously in some Cases; but in
many instances It. operates to cut
off all "deadhead" travel. There
crops out every 10Y and then a SEN
timent among corporations which
have been in the habit of giving
free passes TO certain classes of
society, that they m giving large
values for little or nothing. This
does not appear TO span out" well
IN experience. The ST. Louis Rail.
rGy Age, the organ of the railroad
interests, makes these somewhat
singular observations GU the sub
ject, and they go to show that in
even IL brief space of time the aboli-
ton OF the "deadhead" system is
more regretted by the former Civ
ers than by the late recipients. 1t
says:
The falling of in travel since
passes we're recalled has been very
great, and it is not looked upou as
IA joke by the interests named and
many others. Sleeping cars pull
out of Chicago in some cases act
ually empty, aud in general with a
much smaller number of occupants
than vas tue rule before the first
day OF April. We have it on the
best authority that the receipts of
Che sleeping a company have
